Description
Elevate your meals and snacks with this quick and easy Cranberry Butter! This vibrant, creamy spread is bursting with the sweet-tart flavors of fresh cranberries and makes a delightful addition to breads, biscuits, and more.
Ingredients
– 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
2. 2. Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
3. 3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Fold in the cranberry puree until well combined.
4. 4. Transfer the Cranberry Butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
The Cranberry Butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For a more spreadable consistency, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
